YES, IT IS BETTER.
Better to own a few true friends than
all the gold refined;
Better to love of one real heart than
all the rubies mined;
Better the hurt of many wounds than
fear to join ffhe fray;
Better than years of nothingness to
LIVE one surging day.

new capital
work for the South
The margin between the cost of producing
transportation and the price received for it
is so small that it requires the utmost
efficiency of management, and the most
carefully directed expenditure of new capital
I to safeguard even a small return on the
investment.
In no other large business enterprise is so
! great an amount of capital risked for so
small a return as in railroad transportation.
The $285,000,000 of new money that has
been put into the Southern Railway System
in the past twenty years has been largely
devoted to increasing capacity and promo
ting operating efficiency.
We receive many requests for the elimina
tion of grade crossings, the construction of
monumental passenger stations, and other
non-revenue-producing improvements. The
communities we serve naturally desire to
have as much of this work dqne as can be
safely financed, but they have recognized
that their interests will best be served by
expenditures which produce more and better
transportation.
It is only because new capital has been ex
pended on productive improvements that
the Southern Railway System today is an
efficient transportation machine and an asset
to the South.
We like winter better than .
because flies don't w„ um me-
